"This rotating mat is very sturdy, rotates smoothly, and never wobbles when I cut. I am one of those people who uses a lot of pressure, and this performs perfectly. I use it for quilts and trimming blocks. This one was a great investment. Maybe one day I can save up for the larger size, too!!!"

Many buyers report that the mat rotates easily and smoothly, so you can work all the way around a piece without repositioning your hands. One reviewer said they no longer had to manipulate the mat the way they did with their other ones.

Reviewers also say the firm surface stays put under pressure, which gives heavy-handed cutters a steady place to work.

Great for small projects

The Missouri Star 10" Rotating Cutting Mat is perfect for my limited sewing corner area. The rotation makes cutting smaller pieces easy. I use it for making quilted tote bags with small squares.

A must-have cutting mat

I love it! It's something I should've bought long ago! I'm using it for trimming blocks, trimming charm squares, and cutting half square triangles.

mixed feelings

I was so excited to receive the rotating cutting mat. The rotation is so smooth! I don't have to manipulate it the way I do my other ones. It's raised a bit like a "lazy susan", so the turn is not choppy or difficult. However, what I've discovered this means is that when I am cutting a block, I have one more thing I need to secure. I have found that if I am not holding the disc still, it will turn when I apply pressure to cut the fabric. Since I scored this while it was on sale, I'll continue...

Great!

Excellent cutting spinning mat. It is just the size I was looking for! The only thing I would change is adding numbers for measurement purposes. Spins so nicely!

Great investment for quilting

This rotating mat is very sturdy, rotates smoothly, and never wobbles when I cut. I am one of those people who uses a lot of pressure, and this performs perfectly. I use it for quilts and trimming blocks. This one was a great investment. Maybe one day I can save up for the larger size, too!!!

Around I Go!

I love rotating cutting mats! I am not so sure about this one as I find the cutting surface sticky. My fabric lays well but the rotary cutter sticks and does not allow for smooth cuts. I usually have to go over it a couple of times. I changed the blade in the cutte so I don't think that's it. I would not buy this again and not happy I paid what I did even on sale.

Not sure

I like the rotating feature and size. I had multiple heart shapes to cut and found that I was tightening my hold on the fabric because the mat moved and I felt it was unstable. I ended up with arm and wrist discomfort. Not sure if I was using proper technique as there were no directions.

Missing numbers one Lines

This would have been a 5 star mat if it had measurement numbers on the gridlines. Nice mat, turns very easily and has ball bearings so it is smooth and easy to turn.
